Synopsis:

 

Texan Charles Farmer (Billy Bob Thornton) left the Air Force as a young man to save the family ranch when his dad died. Like most American ranchers, he owes his bank much more than he can afford. Unlike most, he's an astrophysicist with a rocket in his barn - one he's built and wants to take into space. After an attempt at purchasing rocket fuel, Charles rockets to the top of FBI surveillance.  The FAA stalls him when he files a flight plan - it's post-9/11, after all.  Are twenty-first century American dreams just a sign of insanity? Are those who believe in dreamers only fools?

 

Lori's Rating: D- : This movie was unrealistic.  And boring.  They tried to breed emotional connection with you to the family but it never happened for me.
